History
Charter Members
In May of 1949, forty-three brave troopers from the Troop G area decided to form their own lodge within the growing ranks of the fraternal order of police. Many ranking officers within the Pennsylvania State Police saw no use for the fraternal order of police and believing the organization was a direct threat to their authority, would do almost anything within their power to penalize anyone who even spoke of joining the organization. Many transfers were made due to affiliation with the organization at that time. But the forty-three charter members saw fit to risk whatever hardships they might encounter for the cause.
We honor those forty-three charter members for their courage, honor and dedication to the fraternal order of police.
